Nipple necrosis?! Day 10 after breast reduction. (Photo)

November 10, 2017
Asked By:hr.family in Ontario, CA

Since day 1, my right nipple and areola have been purple. I'm trying to maintain a positive attitude but I am quite afraid that I'll have to go back under the knife. As of right now, I've been told to apply Polysporin 4 times a day to keep moist.
